Thank you everyone for the birthday wishes!

I wish I could say that I had a great day..  I was sick on my birthday and also on Mother's day, and in between I broke a tooth.

I hope better days are ahead...smile...

I have a confession to make... I hate letting go of things.

I am way too sentimental!  I made the above card using an image that I cute from a pillow that I had made for Mother-in-law for Mother's day many years ago.  She really liked the pillow that I made for her and when we lost her....   The pillow was given back to me.  It was really starting to show wear and I knew it was time to let it go.  So I tried to see if I could cut around my cross-stitching and m make it into a card.  I sent the card to my sister-in-law for Mother's day.  (My mother in law's youngest daughter). She seemed to appreciate the card.

Thank you for visiting my blog.

These are some of the beautiful cards I received this week.

I also received some lovely story bought cards. But I have to be honest ....

The home made cards always seem more special to me.

The special part of my day was a phone call from my grandson who is in the military and is over 8000 miles away from me.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Birthday card for my neighbor

 I made this birthday card for my neighbor.  This was my second try at making a card for her for her birthday.  My first card failed!  I think I'm losing my touch!

I thought this card might work because we have these yellow Daffodil's blooming in our yard right now.  Spring flowers are always my favorite.

Hubby colored the flower for me.  I stamped the flower using a stamp that came in the latest magazine that I purchased.  "Simply Cards & Papercrafts."

Lily Card Lavender

 Here is another Lily card that my husband colored for me...

I said I was a slow card maker ..  These Lily images that I am posting...were given to us about a year ago by a friend.  She stamped the lily and cut them with a matching die that she had.. My hubby colored them for me and I made them into a card (there are 4 in total)...  hope to post the rest tomorrow.

Hope you have a great weekend

 Two more cards that I made using the Pansy Petals paper.

My die was cut from a die from Ellentina Cutting Dies.
